more than a slogan, it's a way of life!
You can file this under “who knew?” Sadly, not enough of us do. Your clothes dryer can be deadly, a silent killer if the duct venting system is not properly maintained. There are over 15,000 fires, 400 injuries, and several Continue reading HIDDEN DANGER…YOUR CLOTHES DRYER CAN BE DEADLY
What we’re seeing is the product greed, selfishness, and short sightedness on the part of government, consumers, and governing agencies alike.
Combine that with the excessive over fishing of the many species of fish is it little wonder that the one Bluefin tuna would fetch almost $400,000.00? Continue reading MORE PLASTIC IN THE OCEANS THAN FISH… ONE BLUEFIN TUNA SELLS FOR $396,000
The amount of e-waste that is generated by the U.S. every year is simply staggering. The U.S. is the world’s top producer of e-waste. According Popular Mechanics we produce 2.25 million tons of used electronics every year and recycle on 18% of our tech toys. Continue reading The U.S. dumping its electronic waste on poor countries
According to a recent article in National Geographic News, 44 percent of all seabirds eat plastic, apparently by mistake, sometimes with fatal effects.

No, we have a few nations, Japan in particular, that behave with utter disregard to savage, mind numbing killing of sharks just for their fins.

It’s part of their culture, don’t ya know! Continue reading When Our Oceans Are Barren; Japanese Atrocities of Whales, Dolphins & Sharks
One of the posts I continue to get traffic on every day (here) is about PETA and why so people dislike the organization. I understand the emotional component of wanting to spare unnecessary pain to animals I don’t understand mean and childish pranks that generate media attention and little else.
These two videos are a case in point! Let’s just call this, now you see the monkey Peta got upset about and now you don’t! Continue reading LAUGHING OUT LOUD AT PETA
It’s time for the US to get serious about banning or (at the very least) addressing the environmental damage caused by the ubiquitous single use plastic.
It is ironic that for a country that has led the world in so many environmental issues that we have such a shameful record of ignoring this hazard … all in the name of convenience, of course!
How’s this for a statistic?Plastic constitutes a whopping 90 percent of all trash floating in the oceans, and that represents as much as 80 percent of all plastic waste on earth! Continue reading CALIFORNIA BANS THE PLASTIC BAG
